Having many handsome men means no worries; pampering them all keeps me in good spirits.

Upon hearing Jiang Qingyan's voice, Gulimi slowly opened her eyes. Only after recognizing that the person in front of her was indeed her husband did she slightly raise the corners of her lips.

His breathing was extremely weak. With great effort, he raised his hand and touched Jiang Qingyan's cheek, his voice trembling as he said, "Husband... I thought I would never see you again... Fortunately... fortunately, I can see you one last time before I die..."

Jiang Qingyan's heart was breaking. She shouldn't have left Gulimi alone in the palace...

If she could keep Gulimi by her side, she definitely wouldn't let him get hurt like this...

Ultimately, it was she who harmed Gulimi…

She gently leaned down and kissed Gulimi's lips, saying softly, "Baby, don't talk nonsense. I won't let anything happen to you. Lie down and rest for a while, and I'll have someone go find some green medicine to treat you right away."

Gulimi's hand slowly slid down Jiang Qingyan's face, his complexion grew paler, he breathed weakly, and closed his eyes again.

Jiang Qingyan gently placed him on the ground with a heavy heart and quickly asked Shen Yuan to bring the green medicine over.

Jiang Mingsi sneered and pointed at Jiang Qingyan and Gulimi, saying loudly, "Look, they're all in cahoots! This person must be disguised as the Emperor's brother, trying to deceive you all again!"

Empress Dowager Rui chimed in, "Yes...yes...the new emperor is right...she's an imposter...my son has already been killed by them...this person, disguised as my son, must have ulterior motives...don't be fooled by her..."

But the ministers weren't fools. It was one thing for the thief to disguise himself as the emperor, but did he also disguise the empress, Consort Xuan, and Consort Shen?

Jiang Qingyan's eyes were bloodshot as she coldly stared at the two people on the stage, and she roared, "You damned old hag! It seems I really gave you face before, allowing you to hurt my people one after another... Since you've brought this upon yourself, then I'll grant your wish today!"

Having said that, he shouted loudly towards the outside of the hall, "Your Majesty, immediately send men to arrest the Empress Dowager and Prince Yun!"

But after waiting for a long time, they still did not receive a response from Eunuch Wang.

Now that things had come to this, Empress Dowager Rui dropped the pretense and laughed loudly, "Hahaha... Are you looking for Eunuch Wang? Fine, then I'll let you see that old eunuch. Guards, bring Eunuch Wang up here!"

A moment later, two soldiers grabbed Wang Gonggong by the arms and carried him to the main hall.

Jiang Qingyan stared in disbelief at the center of the hall, where Eunuch Wang was being roughly thrown to the ground by the two guards, like a pile of mud.

His limbs were limp and powerless, and his face was burned beyond recognition by the hot iron...

He lay there, covered in blood, unable to move...

Jiang Qingyan's heart trembled violently. She forced herself not to fall and walked step by step to Wang Gonggong's side. She slowly squatted down and used her index finger to check his breath.

She couldn't believe that the efficient old man who used to follow her around had become like this...

Empress Dowager Rui said contemptuously, "That old fool is disobedient and refuses to cooperate with me no matter what. Humph, he deserves to have fallen to this state!"

Once she confirmed that Eunuch Wang was still alive, Jiang Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he was alive, that was good...

As long as he's alive and there's green medicine, they'll surely be able to cure Eunuch Wang...

Jiang Qingyan glared fiercely at Empress Dowager Rui and said angrily, "You heartless and cruel old hag... If I don't get rid of you... I am not worthy to be the emperor!"

In the past, considering that Empress Dowager Rui was the original owner's birth mother, Jiang Qingyan always gave her leeway. Even if she went too far, she never had any intention of killing her.

But she not only nearly killed Mo Ting, but also injured Gulimie so badly, and tortured Eunuch Wang to the point of being unrecognizable...

How can such a ruthless and vicious woman continue to live in this world?

Empress Dowager Rui said with a look of disdain, "Ha, who will eliminate whom is still unknown. Guards! Seize those people for me!"

Instantly, a large group of armed soldiers rushed in and surrounded the hall.

Jiang Mingsi walked to the dragon throne and slowly sat down. He looked at the ministers below the platform with a scrutinizing gaze and said coldly, "Those who obey me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish! I am ascending the throne today, so why don't you all kneel down and pay your respects immediately!"

The ministers looked at Jiang Qingyan with difficulty. After all, the real emperor was still here. How could she go and pay homage to the traitor?

Even the Emperor, no matter how powerful, can't fight against so many opponents. The Empress Dowager and Prince Yun clearly came prepared...

With such a large army surrounding them, if they didn't submit now, their heads would surely roll today…

Seeing that no one was kneeling in obeisance, Jiang Mingsi narrowed his eyes and said to Lord Ning, "Lord Ning, I'm giving you a chance to be promoted. Kill these people who disobey me, and I will appoint you as a first-rank prime minister!"

Lord Ning was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly cupped his hands in thanks, saying, "Yes! This old minister thanks Your Majesty!"

He bent down, picked up the long sword that had just been knocked away by a stone, and thrust it directly at the group of ministers.

Ling Feng also flew in from the shadows and, together with Mo Ting and the others, protected Jiang Qingyan in the middle and fought with the soldiers.

Instantly, chaos erupted inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, filled with the sounds of weapons clashing and screams of alarm…

Only Empress Dowager Rui and Prince Yun sat coldly on the stage, watching them with sneers as if they were enjoying a good show.

As the soldiers inside the palace killed one wave after another, and their numbers continued to grow, several veteran officials were already seriously injured.

Jiang Qingyan was getting anxious. She didn't know where Lu Nian and the others had gone, or when they would be able to enter the palace to provide support...

Suddenly, Lord Ning turned his longsword and thrust it towards Jiang Qingyan's back...

Mo Ting and his companions were already tied down by the soldiers and didn't notice the unusual situation behind Jiang Qingyan...

Suddenly, a pair of bloodstained hands tremblingly grabbed Lord Ning's feet, mumbling something incoherently.

Lord Ning frowned and looked down, only to see that it was Eunuch Wang, whose tendons in his hands and feet had been severed.

Even though the old eunuch had been tortured to this extent, he still managed to crawl over, trying to stop him.

He gritted his teeth, used all his strength to kick Eunuch Wang more than ten meters away, and cursed angrily, "Bah, you dead eunuch, what business is it of yours to meddle in other people's affairs?"

He then immediately turned and stabbed Jiang Qingyan again…

Just as he was about to succeed, a delicate figure rushed over and stood behind Jiang Qingyan...

The long sword plunged straight into her chest, and instantly a mouthful of blood spurted from her mouth, spraying accurately onto Lord Ning's face.
